Great!
Beautifully illustrated with gloriously vivid colors, this book and ALL the others in this series/collection are wonderful. The adaptations in text and in the illustrations are masterful and clever. I wish these books were available when I was growing up!

My Nasty Backpack2 reviews
Allia Zobel Nolan, Maryn Roos
Reader's Digest, 2006
Excellent!!
We just bought this book over the weekend. My 4 1/2 year old son absolutely loves it! He loves the flip-up pages and the fact that you can see the gross, disgusting things coming out of this backpack. There are some items that parents might not find so appealing, but I would highly recommend it to any child who loves to read and loves "gross stuff". It is a great way to laugh and read with your ...

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters.
I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more.
I only wish that there were more of them because I already bought them all.

Great to read aloud...
We got this book as a gift and I have been reading it aloud to my 10 year old boy and 6 year old girl. They love it and can't wait for the next installment to come out next spring! A wonderful, innovative story that is very "real" with a main character that tinged with just the right amount of scarcasm. Tempo is good and the imagery is descriptive enough for those getting used to hearing chapter ...

This is one of the few (or only) African American book series for young readers. The stories are funny and interesting with great illustrations throughout. Gives readers a positive view of young black girls.

SFC 5 star review
This is one of the best Flap Books I've ever read. Nolan has done a wonderful job of writing in prose while telling the funny yet gross adventure of a little boy cleaning out his over-crowded closet. Written in first person, the little boy finds things like smelly socks and weeds in his hiking boots, to his mom's picnic basket still completely full with the goodies (now rotten) from last time ...
